The Anambra State Police Command has arrested the police officer captured in a viral video threatening to shoot anyone who recorded him while on duty, announcing that disciplinary proceedings have commenced against him.

The command identified the officer as Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Newton Isokpehi, attached to the Anambra State Command.

ASP Isokpehi sparked outrage on Wednesday after a video circulating on social media showed him threatening to “clear everybody down,” including bystanders, if anyone attempted to film him while carrying out official duties.
